while y'all are piddling with mods i'm contemplating exchanging my laptop's keyboard (dell inspiron n7110) it seems doable - some keys are starting to stick .... sigh
Check Youtube for how if needed.

My sxk is a different thread from my authentics.

Well thats interesting! My panels & keys are all interchangeable between the BBV & the SXK :)
My SXK's are the older ones with no USB, have had them at least a year now :) I'm not even sure any more, witch keys & witch panels came with the BBV!

Not sure, but authentic panels fit, but authentic threaded tips and 510s don't fit the sxk.
Well if it has an USB and the color is black, purple, or green, it was made just after June 2018 I believe. That gold or yellow one they just released. And red one came out somewhere in between.

I'm running one EUC coil in power boost mode @35 watts, it boost's up to 45 or 50 for a second then down to 35 :) I find it performs way better that way, than in TC on 316L setting. In SS TC it was some what anemic :(
The other two are both on the Exocet's In TC on Ti :)
I'll give the boost a try. I didn't figure TC would work well on them, it hasn't on any other ceramic type coil I've tried.

The G10 replacement doors arrived for the BB they are curved and have sort of rubbery type grip, I like them!
The funny thing is that they have BB factory engraving (Hand & Robot Made 2016) on the inside, so I think that these might be the original doors for my BB, Albert put the cheaper CCM's on to show off the TRVP panels and decided to sell the G10's. :lol: (After all he is a business man and he did give me a good deal on those panels.)

I was curious about which one I had, either way that just added to the resale value. ;)

Replacement board for the Cthulhu mod arrived as well, all installed and working perfectly. I'll have to dip into that TABU on next fill of the Gear RTA.

One of our poster's to this thread should have received their C-roll by now but I haven't heard a peep (or a meow) about it.
indeed i have received the C-roll, it caught the CNY lag, and it has taken a spot in the daily (4) mod rotation i like it that much anything more than 4 and my wicks go stale, maybee i dont vape enough?

All of the SXK panels has these engravings and use 2016 for all of them. Even the panels on the SXK BB mods. I've been eying some G10 panels at 2fdeal for 20 bucks. Although they say they are SJMY panels for SXK BB mods.

I don't see the advantage to the G10 panels? If you cant see the Screen or Boro, why not just use the stock panels? Unless of coarse you didn't get them :(
IMO the stock panels are the best! they are nicely thin & curved, fit perfectly, if only they had some site holes. I need to see the juice level & the screen!

I don't need to see the screen/juice level as I can just pop the door, but that's me. ;) The BB is not my only carry, it never gets below 1/2 tank and I get 2 days out of the battery. I didn't get the stock panels. :(

Those SJMY have an unfinished look to them, could be just the pictures on 2F and 3F.

The Kindle I took the picture with is junk, I really need to grab a decent point and shoot for pics.
My panels look exactly like the ones from BBV's site.

It's all good, I'm going to put the black board cover back on it tonight, will look good with the silver button. :D

Why do you need panels at all Steamer861? It works perfectly fine without them. :lol: Honestly there are millions of reasons. One is to change the looks of it so you don't get tired at looking at the same look all of the time. And some besides looks, are more grippy. Some are stronger than original. And I could go on and on.

My first reason was Gas City only has red BB and they all look the same. So why have two red BBs and it is hard to tell them apart? So I got honeycomb panels and it not only looks better, it is very easy to tell them apart. ;)

And why do you want to see the screen and the juice level for? That would ruin that minimalist look of the BB style. If you want to check real quick, you pop the cover off. You know just like if you want to check something under the hood of your car. But if you wanted, you could just remove the hood of your car and then you never have to open it again. But some of us thinks it looks better with a hood. :D

Well there are clear, frosted, and Ultem panels too, which you don't even have to cut slots out of. And the spare panels I have purchased so far, are also thin, curved, and fits perfectly too. :D

Yup, that is why I've been just looking at them and haven't bought any yet. But for 20 bucks, it might be worth a look. ;)

Say dwcraig1, did you order a gold BB from Legend too? They usually ship the next day from Hong Kong. But they didn't. I figured they like everyone else doesn't have them yet and will ship out when they come in a few days later. Well a week later, they sent a tracking number. But it isn't the regular International tracking number, but it looks like an USPS number. o_O
